my government or my people?
When is enough enough? When will the people stand up
and tell the PAP that they will not let the PAP to
continue to rough handle anymore?
There are some consensus views of what or how the PAP
is being seen by the voters in the aftermath of the
recent general election. 'The PAP is seen as a very
arrogant party, and totally unfair to both the
opposition and the people. I am against offering
upgrading as a carrot. The money belongs to the
nation, not the PAP...Christopher Lee in the ST.
'When the people say that the cost of living is high,
the PAP says we have cellphones and air conditioners.
When the people ask for GST waivers on necessities and
medical items, the PAP says they are subsidised. How
to talk to the Govt?'...Neo Kim Seng in the ST.
'During the campaign, the PAP told Hougang and Potong
Pasir voters: ...Why be so stupid and continually
support the opposition which never contributed
constructively in Parliament or which only makes
trouble in Parliament?...I am surprised at their
unsporting attitude.' Sylvestor Goh in the ST.
Despite these views which are quite common and quickly
surfaced in a discussion, the PAP is still voted to
power for another term. The people are unhappy with a
PAP that is seen to treat the people badly and even
ignoring the people's pleas with their clever
arguments, with their views of what they think is best
and not coming around to try to understand the
people's concern.
But then again, its seems that the voters will have to
tolerate the arrogance of PAP, or have to grit their
teeth and accept PAP as a matter of no better choice.
And worst is that they are happy just to know that the
PAP is now trying to be gentler to the people.
'I am a PAP supporter who believes the Govt has done a great
job and is changing to adopt a softer approach towards
the people...' Billy Lee in the ST.
This last quote speaks for all Singaporeans, that they
have grown use to be push around, or bashed around and
all they can hope for, and will be happy, if only the
PAP just try to be a little nicer to them. Is this the
attitude and expectation of the people on the PAP or
any future govt, that it is the natural state of
affair for a govt to be stern and even treat them
roughly?
When would the Singaporeans said enough is enough,
that no govt shall ever mistreat them like thrash or
to be thrashed around? And a little kinder govt is a
great blessing? Do the Singaporeans ever think that it
is only right and proper for any govt to treat them
fairly and respectfully?
The Singaporeans deserve a govt for what that govt is
if they let the govt sit on them as a natural state of thing.
